Take Action: Ban Fracking on Public Lands; Debate Moderators: Ask Presidential Candidates Questions about Sea Level Rise; We Stopped Monsanto’s Dark Act In Congress, But We Aren’t Done Yet!

Ban Fracking on Public Lands

GasfackelFracking has already caused serious damage to our public lands, particularly in the areas that serve to buffer America’s most precious national parks and monuments. By the end of 2014, oil and gas companies had leases on over 34 million acres of public land, and over 200 million more acres are currently being targeted for drilling. No amount of regulation will protect us or our public lands from the impacts of fracking. Regulated fracking still results in harm to people’s health, accidental spills of toxic waste, air pollution, earthquakes, drinking water contamination, habitat destruction and worsening climate change. The only way to protect ourselves and our land from the risks of fracking is to ban it altogether. Sign the petition to help ban fracking altogether.

Not only does New Hampshire hold the first primary election in our nation, it has a beautiful coastline that is under significant threat. Take a moment to sign this petition asking the debate moderators to challenge all the presidential candidates: What will you do to help communities prepare for and protect themselves from sea level rise and other coastal climate impacts?

We Stopped Monsanto’s Dark Act In Congress But We Aren’t Done Yet

UntitledWe just stopped Monsanto’s Dark Act rider dead in Congress – for now! After tens of thousands of phone calls and hundreds of thousands of letters from all of you GMO labeling warriors – no anti-GMO labeling provisions were allowed in the must-pass Omnibus spending bill. Even better, a provision requires the FDA to develop labeling guidelines before its sold in America. With your help we can continue to fight and win in 2016. Help us keep the pressure on in DC and tell them we want GMO labeling now.
